What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[SeanKroll]

I was sweating milling today. Not just a little sweat. Helmet soaked, glasses salt streaked, dripping all over the place... Crap December. Extended forecast is calling for 36° Monday, then back into the mid 40s :^S

Wear shorts and gaiters.







We had more snow last night. Maybe 8"-12" total.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

We just finally got mail today. Too much snow they could not just drive up to the mail box. They wont get out of the car. Yada yada.

Rain today, and fairly warm. Makes building a fire weird. Almost seems too warm for a fire, but it's cool and a little chilly in the house. Most of my fires this year have been sans blower. The quiet is nice, but it seems wasteful. Not that wood is a scarce commodity, but still...

 

[lxskllr]

Warm and rain again... Just went out and dumped ashes, and saw snowdrops and daffodils coming up D^:

There should be a law that mandates snow before snowdrops are allowed to popup. This is an outrage!

 

[stikine]

Winter storm warning here...12-15 inches forecasted. We'll see, it's a bit late on arrival.

 

[Bermy]

Got through 33 and 35c total fire ban ok. Its going to be back down to 19c in a day or two.

What about COLORADO!!!! Flippin wildfire one day and snow the next!!!!

 

[gf beranek]

Frost this morning. Doesn't usually last long. Not on the coast.

 

[treebilly]

More rain and mud😞

 

[Fiddler]

Quiet now, but the fear-mongers have been running red tape across the screen for three days now warning of a terrible storm of 2-3" of snow

Last time they did this we got zip, then a few days later they said nothing and I woke up to 3" blanket they never foretold...

 

[Bermy]

Colorado anyone?

 

[Burnham]

It sounds crazy, doesn't it.

 

[lxskllr]

Listening to jul music with the door open. Yup... Worst winter ever. I said that last year, and the year before that, and the year before that...

 

[SeanKroll]

Melting time-ish


Gerry, how much snow did you get?

 

[stig]

We had a white x-mas which is really rare.
That was only the 9th time since year 1900.
Even though we are a Northern country, our winters are mild, because the ocean acts like a buffer, cooling down slowly= mild winters, and heating up slowly= cool summers..
We have, if I remember correctly, the longest coastline compared to land mass of any country.
With global warming, this may very well be our last white x-mas.

So all the kids that were out frolicking in the snow on x-mas day will certainly have something to tell their grand children.

We don't do x-mas but the snow was a course for joy for dog, horses and Swiss mail order bride.

Hell, I loved it, too

 

[Fiddler]

Finally snowed enough to get the thrower out & clean out where the road-plow piled it. Only about 4", but wanted to run the thing a bit just to run it anyway.

 

[SeanKroll]

Melting time.
Ice-packed roads on side streets and driveways.
I'll need chains to tow any trailers down them. Hopefully, I'll just ease into the year, and do some maintenance and bids for a bit.

Supposed to go down to 10* tonight. First real cold. High tomorrow in mid 20s. Couple of inches of snow on the ground. Winter is here I guess. Had a rose in bloom yesterday and cut cauliflower and broccoli yesterday. 3 months and it will be gone.

 

[Mrs.B]

Sean, no snow here on the coast. The weathermen lied again. They warned we would get 4 inches at sea level. We are at 267 ft and had about 30 minutes of slushy rain. It snowed about 10 miles east of us. It's very rare to have snow here, but exciting when it happens. My brother in Juneau has reached his tolerance level for snow and is leaving tomorrow for Puerto Vallarta......if his flight isn't canceled.

W00t!



I went into work, but no field work today. Boss asked me to look into the server backups. Hasn't been backed up since 2020. Looks like the backup disk is full, but windows didn't want to tell me that. Looked up online how to delete old backups cause windows didn't want to tell me that either. Got tired of waiting for the non informative command prompt to do what it was doing and went home. I'll see what happened tomorrow morning.

Why is windows so terrible at everything? I'm tempted to just pull the drives and set the server up with debian. We'll see how motivated I am...

 

[Fiddler]

It's finally Winterish here.

Threw ~10" of snow out of the drives today & still snowing. It's supposed to keep up through at least Friday.

It's all "lake effect"...very light & fluffy powder

 

[BlackSmith]

I lived in Manistee for a year. Don’t care if I EVER see another snowflake.

 

[Fiddler]

After living a while in Charleston I concluded i'd rather see things covered in snow than in coal dust...to each his own.

 

[Cobleskill]

Winter, just a little late. Buffalo is in for 12 to 18" today. Up here by Lake Ontario a couple inches. We usually do better unless we get a north or northeast wind. Then we get socked.

 

[lxskllr]

We're supposed to get some decent snow tonight. 40° currently.

 

[FireFighterZero]

15 below this morning.

Was 30 below last night.
